Ingredients
6 passion fruits
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons sugar
4 tablespoons water
Where to find ingredients
Passion fruit (often labeled as maracujá in Latin or Brazilian specialty shops) can be found fresh in the produce section of well-stocked supermarkets or at international grocers. If fresh fruit is out of season or unavailable, look for high-quality frozen passion fruit pulp in the freezer section of Latin markets. White granulated sugar is standard and available at any local grocery store.
Preparation method
- Slice the passion fruits in half
- Scoop out all the pulp and seeds, transferring them directly into a saucepan
- Stir in the sugar and water until well combined with the pulp
- Place over low heat and warm until the sugar has fully dissolved
- For a thicker, more syrupy texture, wait until the mixture begins to simmer
- Turn down the heat to low to maintain a gentle cook
- Keep cooking and stirring occasionally until the sauce reaches your preferred consistency
Observations
This purée is a versatile must-have, perfect for drizzling over desserts or adding a bright, zesty lift to dishes that need a tropical kick. The preparation is straightforward: it's all about slowly simmering the fresh pulp until it reaches that perfect, concentrated texture.
